Fine+ Folded; Artist From French design by Boris Grinsson
Cobeldi, 1959
The title translates to" to raise hell," and star Jean Pierre Leaud portrays the troubled young character in this, the first of three films he would play the same character. This is a beautiful presentation poster of his most famous role.
This poster, with one vertical fold and three horizontal has sporadic light edge tears, fold separation on the lower fold, and minor staining in the white and snipe residual paper both in the upper area.
This semi-autobiographical coming-of-age masterpiece was, remarkably, François Truffaut's debut film, following the misadventures of Parisian tearaway Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Leaud). Truffaut would return to Doinel's life, following him as he aged, in four more films.
Estimate: $300 - 600
